D/L 03 Court no. 11 September 11, 2026. KAUSHIK
Calcutta High Court In the Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri
W.P.A. 548 of 2024
Pijush Sarkar @ Piyush Sarkar Vs. Siliguri Municipal Corporation & Ors.
Mr. Satyam Sarkar
… … for the petitioner
Mr. Janardan Periwal
… … for the SMC
The grievance of the writ petitioner is directed against non-consideration of a representation dated 12 October, 2023 written to the Commissioner, Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC). It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that despite making a complaint for demolition of illegal and unauthorized construction, the respondent authorities have taken no steps in the matter. On behalf of the respondent authorities, it is submitted that they have no objection in disposing of the representation of the petitioner. In such circumstances, WPA 548 of 2024 stands disposed of by directing the respondent authorities and, more particularly, the respondent no. 2 to dispose of the representation of the petitioner within a period of twelve weeks from the date of communication of this order and after
2 giving a right of hearing to the parties, if necessary. It is made clear that there has been no adjudication on the merits of the case and all issues are left open for the Commissioner, SMC to decide strictly in accordance with law.
